I seen some RC stuff that really moves out.. I’ve had the green one up to 57.8 mph. That was right before lift off Lol. I just started upgrading the red 2FE508B6-2A39-41CB-A702-1F5955B97403.MOV catamaran. once I get the set up figured out it should get 60. They are fun as hell and always draw a crowd.

I'd expect reasonable rebuild times on par with any high performance build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HP/12 = Fuel Burn in GPH. I wonder why Mercury Racing or anyone else for that matter, isn't using the 4tec in their big offshore race boats. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKIQPilot Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 I'm trying to justify a new boat for Havasu. Rotax introduced a new power package late last year and it has really upped the game in Sport Jet segment. At this time the engine and pump package is only offered in the new Scarab sport jets. I'm leery of the Scarab product as they don't have a great record of build quality or dealer support. They are getting better but still far behind Yamaha or even the Sea Doo boats before they quit making boats in 2012. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I ever have so much money that I need to burn it up in a weekend I'll get one of those. In the meantime, I'll take a mini yacht! I forgot what kind it is but I do remember seeing that exact image in boating magazines and I remember seeing draft specs / MSRP # which is 5' and $2.9m which is steep requirements lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were ever to consider something like that I think I would just lease it. Those can be hard to get rid of if you get bored with it.
